Football: Rebirth 04, I Create a Black Shop in Football

The game was a big success, but the situation was very good.

When Ronaldo was holding the ball on the right side, there was a tsunami of cheers from the sidelines.

However, the cheers were not for him, but for Maicon and Ribery who were defending closely beside him.

The game started for almost 5 minutes. Ronaldo's last breakthrough was seized by Maicon and the ball was poked out of the sideline. This was his second attempt to break through with the ball.

However, what surprised him a little was that this time it was not only Maicon who came up to defend, but Ribery also followed behind and kept harassing him. Not far away, Mascherano was also slowly moving his position to the right side.

"Scholes passed the ball to Cristiano on the right. It seemed that he wanted to try to break through again, but we saw Ribery followed him from behind." Eddie Gray spoke quickly, introducing the current situation to the fans on the scene, "Very smart defense, Maicon and Ribery blocked Cristiano's position and prevented him from cutting inside. There was no way, Cristiano could only pass the ball back to Scholes who came up to meet him. It seems that Manchester United has to reorganize the attack."

"It seems that Lee has studied Ferguson's usual tactics this season very thoroughly." In the studio Lineker was also analyzing, "Although I haven't seen any specific effect of the change in Leeds United's midfield arrangement today, at least Leeds United did a good job in preventing their right side from becoming Cristiano's corridor. In the past few minutes, I hardly saw Ribery press deep into the midfield. He has always kept a distance from Cristiano. Leeds United seems to rarely organize attacks from Ribery's side!"

Even Lineker can understand the idea, and Ferguson at the scene naturally saw Li Shiguang's idea of ​​defending the right side today.

But what made him a little confused was that Cristiano was indeed Manchester United's main attack point this season, but it shouldn't be said that he would defend to this extent.

Lineker and Eddie Gray didn't notice Mascherano's running position, but Ferguson did.

The two times Ronaldo got the ball, Mascherano was intentionally or unintentionally leaning towards his inward route, so that if Ronaldo made a breakthrough, he could immediately meet him and form a second line of defense.

"But isn't this a bit too much of a disdain for Scholes? You're paying too much attention to Ronaldo on the wing, which frees up Scholes in the middle, isn't it?" Ferguson muttered.

Then he adjusted his stance, squinted at Li Shiguang, who was standing on the sidelines with a calm face, and whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "Your arrangement in the midfield today is really strange? Why is that?"

Ferguson has played against Li Shiguang three times, and neither side suffered a loss. Both of them have achieved a record of one win, one draw and one loss.

But for Ferguson, Li Shiguang, who led Leeds United to the Champions League in just one season, is no longer the rookie young man. In these few encounters, Li Shiguang's on-site command style that does not follow the routine has deeply rooted in Ferguson's heart.

For example, today Li Shiguang left the healthy Modric and Alonso alone, and sent Toure and Mascherano.

For example, today Li Shiguang abandoned the double defensive midfielder formation that Leeds United had been using this season, and deployed a diamond midfield like himself.

Ferguson still doesn't know the tactical value of Toure, the big black man, starting today.

····

At the 11th minute of the game, the stalemate on the field finally changed.

Leeds United organized an attack from the backcourt.

As before, after several foot changes in the backcourt, Cannavaro passed the ball to Bale on the left.

Bale, who was advancing with the ball, made full use of his young body when facing Giggs' defense, and simply passed the ball from the sideline to overtake Giggs.

However, Manchester United's back line was well positioned. In order to use speed to directly pass Giggs, Bale took a little more space.

As a result, just as he caught up with the ball, Evra had already rushed up. Seeing that the ball was about to be knocked out of bounds by Evra, Bale, who was slightly faster than Evra, had to use his left foot to poke the ball to Toure in the midfield.

Seeing Bale pass the ball to him, Toure leaned against Carrick who was behind him, pulled the ball that rolled to his feet back with his left foot, and then turned around and passed in front of Carrick.

Seeing that Toure, who had run from in front of him to behind him in an instant, had already kicked the ball forward, Carrick had no choice but to stretch out his evil little hand to stop Leeds United's attack from the middle!

But this foul made right under the referee's nose naturally made him receive the due punishment. Less than 15 minutes into the game, Carrick received a yellow card!

"Carrick is not calm, the game has just started, this yellow card may be a foreshadowing..." Lineker boldly predicted in the studio, "But Kevin, isn't Carrick's body a little too thin in front of Toure? I just saw Toure just lowered his center of gravity and easily leaned on Carrick. Could it be that Li's tactical intention today is not just on the left side, but Carrick's position is also a breakthrough point?"

"Well... I can't tell anything from this breakthrough. Just now, Bale kicked the ball to Toure in the middle in a hurry, but this yellow card came a little too early, which is indeed a hidden danger!" The big wave of analysis before the game was slapped in the face, and Blackwell didn't dare to say too much at this time.

"FxxK!" Ferguson on the sidelines was not very satisfied with the referee's penalty. He thought it was just a simple pulling foul, and there was no single knife. The referee directly gave a yellow card. This penalty was a bit too heavy!

If this was at Old Trafford, at most a verbal warning would be given, but how could a yellow card be shown directly? This is a bit outrageous!

This made Ferguson a little unhappy, after all, it was he who often enjoyed the home advantage, not the opponent...
